Hidden attribute on a method parameter does not hide parameter

[makotogitdev]

Even though you add a "[Hidden]" attribute to a method parameter, they are still visible in Swagger.

*You can work around by setting Hidden property of ParameterSettings attribute tag to true.

Is this a bug? I believe the intended function is that you use ParameterSettings for hiding the parameter.

Specifically, the functionality is here in the GetOperations method of the Mapper.cs:

//if the method is marked Hidden anywhere, skip it
                if (implementation.GetCustomAttribute <HiddenAttribute>() != null ||
                      declaration.GetCustomAttribute<HiddenAttribute>() != null) { continue; }

If you look a few blocks lower you'll see the parameter settings only picks up the ParameterSettingsAttribute:

var settings = implementation.GetParameters().First(p => p.Position.Equals(parameter.Position)).GetCustomAttribute<ParameterSettingsAttribute>() ??
                         parameter.GetCustomAttribute<ParameterSettingsAttribute>();

Edit: Where are the parameters visible in Swagger? I'm still getting familiar with the framework.

I was thinking it would be nice to be able to use it on a parameter, not just on methods. Anyway maybe this is not really a bug like you said.

Method parameters should be visible between Response Class and Error code section. Here's an example from Swagger UI's demo.
